 Would your child know what to do if... |
| * He got lost at a shopping mall? * A nice-looking, friendly stranger offered her a ride home after school? * A baby-sitter wanted to play a secret game that no one would know about? * She was at home alone and the doorbell rang? * A friend dared him to hitchhike? |
While most kids pass through childhood without ever experiencing physical harm, some are frightened or hurt by
crime. As a parent, one of your responsibilities is to teach your children how to protect themselves and respond to
threatening situations. And, you should always take the time to listen carefully to your children's fears and
feelings about people or places that scare them or make them feel uncomfortable.
